[QUOTE="77IM, post: 7978647, member: 12377"] Ninja'd! I use this too. In most campaigns, I treat the Feywild and the Shadowfell as the same plane, the Otherworld. The bright parts are like the Feywild, the dark parts are like Shadowfell. The Otherworld is coterminous with the material plane: you can just walk there, if you know the hidden pathways. Dwarves are as generous as they are greedy. Wealth means a lot to them so when they give sincere gifts they are gifts of great wealth. Lizardfolk live by the credo, "You are what you eat." They hunt and eat monsters to grow strong, eat elves to get smart, etc. To the lizardfolk, humanoids are soft and brown/beige because they eat too much bread. The highest honor a lizardfolk can pay to a deceased comrade is to eat them. Goblinoid social structure is a mockery of human social structure. The hobgoblins all consider themselves lords and ladies and knights, and dress in fancy clothes (which are old, disheveled and dirty -- think Skeksis), and administer courts of law. The goblins form "guilds" and consider themselves fantastic merchants, bankers, and craftspeople, when in fact they kind of suck at these things and mostly wind up making a mess and killing each other (think [I]Gremlins 2[/I] but not as hyper). The bugbears are the priestly class, solemnly prostheletizing murder, vengeance, and selfishness. Dragons are all one species and can interbreed. Many dragons of one color/metal bear minor characteristics of another, such as a silver dragon with bronze-tinted wings or a blue dragon with the curling horns of a black. I sometimes change up the breath weapons or lair actions to reflect their ancestry. I give dragons a wide variety of alignment and personality, although they still tend towards their MM listed alignments. For example, the party might find a true neutral green dragon who craves power but doesn't especially want to hurt anyone, or a lawful evil red dragon who is more prone to scheming than rampaging.
